a while back, i did a review of my 5-ct cigar caddy, which gets a lot of use and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. well, jamie of www.cigarcaddy.com took notice of my humble experiment and asked if i'd be interested in doing some tests on the 18-ct with a boveda pack. i was all for it, so...

burn was perfect, the draw was tighter than i prefer, and like another review, the cigar got all soft to the touch. i would not recommend the #1 and it seems others are having better luck with the other sizes. the flavor was consistent throughout, but it wasn't a flavor familiar to any tatuajes...

the other day, i was having a bonfire with some buddies. i got so pre-occupied helping with the fire i stuck the wrong end of my tatuaje cojonu 03 in my mouth and ended up with a mouth full of ash. funny thing, it didn't taste half bad. i'd describe it as sweet with a strong after taste...

not sure if this thread belongs here on in the "other" forum, please move if inappropriate here. i've got a local B&M in the states claiming their houseblend cigars are cuban. i know how ridiculous that sounds, but i was wondering if anyone else has encountered similar claims? i smoked one and...

i smoke about 2-3 times a week (at most) and have been noticing that the majority of cigars i smoke pretty much taste the same as each other. there are a select few that really stand out in the crowd, but for the most part, it's just a different band, varying amounts of smoke, and the same core...

i've got me a 5-ct Cigar Caddy and have always heard that it's airtight, so i would never have to worry about putting in some sort of humidification device, etc, if i was just taking it on a trip for one or two weeks. i decided to put that to the test. Equipment: - 5-ct Cigar Caddy, two...

i found a humidor on ebay i liked, so i bought it. i was really excited, too. it arrived on monday and the guy sent me a humidor that was NOT the same one listed in his auction. on top of that, the stupid thing is DAMAGED. same brand, same size, WRONG ASS DESIGN/COLOR! i tell the guy the thing...

anyone here know of a cigar reseller rating site? right now, i just go by word of mouth/post, but wasn't sure if someone knew of a list that specifically allowed consumers to rate their experiences. there's resellerratings.com but the only cigar site actually rated is cigarbid and a couple...

anyone here ever experienced an allergic reaction to the oils on a cigar wrapper? recently, i've noticed some irritation to the side of my index finger (the one i use to hold my cigars). then it started getting really really dry. as an experiment, i tried smoking with the other hand and i'm...

so....if you received a bunch of cigars, oh say....15....and they were all well packaged against jostling, but the 5-finger plastic baggies containing the cigars were never actually sealed/closed....would you be concerned? they were shipped friday, received monday afternoon. that means they've...

so i've been going through a lot of samplers, lately, and it seems to me that for every 5 or so that i smoke, i find one that i consider decent and might even try, again. for every 15+ that i smoke, i find a cigar i'd really consider purchasing, again. i only smoke about once a week or so. thus...

not sure if that's what it's actually called, but i was at a B&M the other night and they told me that Pete Johnson closed off the Tatuaje Miami (brown label) retailers list, which means that if a store isn't carrying the brown label already, then they won't be. the particular store i was at...

hello world, i just did a little math and found that, thus far, in 2007, for my first four months of being a humidor-bearer, i've spent just about $1700 on cigars/cigar accessories. please congratulate me. :bl and till death do us part.

[FIRST PUBLIC REVIEW] picked this one up as part of a Don Pepin Belicoso sampler. it sat in my humidor for a few months and i decided to take it for a walk, last night. me: hello, i think i like you. JJ: i will kick your ass and you will love me. you will want me so bad, but you'll keep...

i've got a friend who likes to down a Ho-Ho or some other sort of chocolate-cake goodness before he smokes a cigar (usually a maduro). anyone else have a similar habit (not including drinks)? i gave it a try and thought it was tasty....chocolatey-tasty-overload....but that also means it masked...

Got me a 5-ct Cigar Caddy by OtterBox and have been reading through the forum for some tips on maintenance, etc, but had a few left unanswered... Question 1: How often (if ever) do you have to replace the o-ring seal? the warranty says it covers everything but the seal. Question 2: How long...

so i installed my beads, last night, cuz i was tired of fiddling around with my temperamental foam. i don't think they've stabilized, just yet, cuz they're 65% RH beads and the humi is sitting at about 71% RH, right now...but we'll see how things work out. in any case, i was doing the math for...

does anyone know a site for cigar vendor ratings? there's a whole bunch of vendors listed in the stickies and who post in the Cigar Specials & Retailer Reports forum, but was wondering if there was any centralized place we could look for everyone's experiences. tried doing a search, but all i...

went out to dinner, tonight, and then for a cigar after. a friend decided he was paying and that i'd do the selecting....i had no complaints with that. went with the Don Pepin Serie JJ - Sublime, cuz i heart Tatuaje and heard good things about the Sublime. the burn started off a bit uneven, but...

so i've had several of the maduro Padron 64 Anniversario's (Exclusivo, Imperial, Principe) and i had my first Padron 1926 Maduro (#2), tonight. they light easy, burn even, packed tightly, and have a pretty consistent taste throughout (at least, that was my experience), but i wouldn't say that...
